Lewinsky now believes Bill Clinton lied about their relationship during his grand jury testimony. “There was no leeway [there] on the veracity of his statements because they asked him detailed and specific questions to which he answered untruthfully.”

At the time, of course, the “nuts and sluts” defense put on by Clinton’s acolytes held that lying by a serial adulterer lying, even under oath, about his extramarital affairs was no big thing. Feminists claimed fidelity was old-fashioned, but public outrage was palpable, and Clinton’s presidency effectively was over after it was shown he indeed had “sexual relations with that woman.”

Flash forward to 2009 and the public still has no use for serial adulterers.
